Description
The University of Wisconsin Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship is a one-year program based in the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, in close collaboration with the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health. It prepares primary care physicians to become academic leaders in treating sports- and exercise-related conditions in children, adolescents, and adults.
Fellows care for University of Wisconsin varsity athletes from the training room to game day, working alongside faculty physicians, licensed athletic trainers, physical therapists, and other health professionals. Training combines approximately 70% clinical activities, 25% research, and 5% teaching of residents, medical students, and athletic training students. The sole fellow has flexibility to pursue individual clinical, research, and teaching goals. The program maintains maximum ACGME accreditation, and completion provides eligibility to take the Certification of Added Qualification (CAQ) exam in sports medicine.
